Author: m_findlow
Characters: Jack, Ianto
Rating: PG
Challenge: 587 - Poke at tw100
Notes: Ianto is nothing if not persistent. A double drabble.
'Your reports are overdue, Jack,' Ianto said, matter of factually.
'I know,' Jack replied, not bothering to look up from the one he was working on, which admittedly, was less urgent and far more interesting.
'They've been overdue for three weeks now,' Ianto added.
'I know.'
'They're the ones that UNIT have been asking for since October,' Ianto clarified, still not moving from his spot in front of Jack's desk.
Jack clenched his teeth together. 'I know.'
'And they're starting to call every other day asking where they are and when they're going to get them.'
Jack grabbed the growing sheaf of little notes for phone messages Ianto had been progressively piling up on his desk. He waved them in the air. 'I know.'
'So, it would be really good if we, and by we, I of course mean you, got them done so they would stop tying up our phone lines.'
Jack threw down his pen and finally looked up at Ianto. 'Have you ever heard the expression "don't poke the bear"?'
Ianto came around the desk and leant over, ruffling Jack's hair and pecking him on the cheek. 'But you're such a cute bear.'
'And now the mocking.'
